Complete CD Track Listing

Songs by Schubert, Wolf, Debussy, Duparc and Warlock

About this CD

The young British baritone Christopher Maltman excels on the recital platform. Here he performs songs by Schubert, Wolf, Debussy, Duparc and Warlock with boundless charm and with a voice of astounding sensitivity, powerfully conveying an array of mixed emotions throughout.

Superbly aided by Julius Drake, Maltman's dramatic interpretations are unsurpassed; his performance of Duparc’s La vague et la cloche was described by The Guardian as a ‘tour de force of baleful intensity’, in contrast to his ‘funny, bitingly satirical and faultless’ interpretation of Flanders & Swann’s Misalliance, sung as an encore.
